This is how much Bolton Wanderers love you

This is how much Bolton Wanderers love you

I’ve written quite a few times before about Wanderers World, the club’s subcription-only web video package. My main beef with it is the way they invite you in to some of the Wanderers World related stories only to inform you that you’ll have to pay for what’s inside after you’ve clicked on the link.

This is how much Bolton Wanderers love you

This is how much Bolton Wanderers love you

The club thinks tonight’s crunch match against Blackburn Rovers is important enough to try and rouse the fans with some glorious Wanderers moments from yesteryear.

In fact, they think it’s so important that they included it as their main story in last week’s email newsletter.

Recommended reading (8.1.09): Bolton Wanderers are ‘technically insolvent’

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers over the past few days

- Four Four Two documenting how money took over football, including reference to Bolton’s David Jack becoming the first £10,000 footballer (those must have been the days to be a Bolton Wanderers fans… three FA Cups in seven years, the best players in the land in our team etc etc).

Recommended reading (11.11.08): Welcome to bwfc.co.uk… now bog off

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | BWFC People, David Norris, Gary Megson | No Comments

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers today…

- This ill-thought out defence of Gary Megson (for my criticisms check out the comments on it). Many of the same ideas are explored here too, which I also think is wide of the mark (again see comments). By far the worst pro Megson article though is this one in which the author begins by saying Bolton are ’sitting comfortably in mid-table’ (we’re three points off the bottom).

Recommended reading (21.10.08): Another ‘one of those days’ as non-paying fans are kept in the dark about Gudni Bergsson

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 | BWFC People, Gary Megson, Gudni Bergsson, Jlloyd Samuel, Joey O'Brien, Mustapha Riga, Phil Gartside, Ricardo Gardner | No Comments

What Manny Road was reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers yesterday…

- Wondering why, when Gary Megson told them about his annoyance at the team’s lack of creativity, The Bolton News didn’t ask him to explain his thinking behind waiting until the 69th and 86th minutes respectively before introducing RIcardo Gardner and Mustapha Riga against Blackburn on Saturday… or why they didn’t point out to Megson the contradiction between his statement and the use of Joey O’Brien (a distinctly uncreative player) as a substitute in the same game.

- Reading Jlloyd Samuel on the official club website explaining the 0-0 draw with Blackburn as ‘one of those days’ and feeling a certain amount deja vu. Why? Because the game was also described as ‘one of those days’ in bwfc.co.uk’s match report a day earlier (how long before someone starts to take the blame for yet another ‘one of those days’?).

- Listening to this interview with Phil Gartside on BBC Radio Five Live in which he defended the fan zone and free beer idea (he did a pretty good job too aside from the stuttering hesitation when he was asked whether Megson’s style of play was to blame for fans staying away).

- Also from the official website… I was hoping to read this story about ‘the return of Gudni Bergsson’, only to find that I’d need to subscribe to Wanderers World (the club’s online subscription TV service) to find out more (can anyone enlighten me as to how and why Gudni has returned?).
